1 APPENDIX 7. EUROPEAN STANDARDS AND MARKINGS FOR protective CLOTHING. ISSUE 8: January 2013. This information is extracted from British STANDARDS with the permission of BSI under licence number PD\1998 1367. INTRODUCTION. Harmonised EUROPEAN STANDARDS for Personal protective Equipment (PPE) have been developed as the preferred means of demonstrating equipment conformity with the basic health and safety requirements (BHSRs) of the EC Personal protective Equipment Directive (89/686/EEC). Only equipment which meets these BHSRs is entitled to carry the CE mark and to be sold for use in the EC. The alternative route to obtaining the CE mark involves the manufacturer producing a 'technical file' for the equipment which also demonstrates that it satisfies the BHSRs.

2 In such cases, the equipment will carry the CE mark but may not display any Standard number. The manufacturer's information will contain the performance specification. For Category III PPE (for use against mortal danger ), the CE mark will be accompanied by a four-digit code number identifying the responsible Notified Body appointed to ensure that the manufactured product continues to satisfy the BHSRs. Increasingly, EUROPEAN STANDARDS (prefixed EN EUROPEAN Norm) are being superseded or subsumed by International STANDARDS (prefixed ISO). Where these are adopted in the UK, they will also be issued as British STANDARDS and be prefixed BS. The British versions of STANDARDS (BS EN, BS ISO or BS EN ISO) may have minor differences from the original versions of the standard, usually in the form of a National Foreword or National Annex, to account for legislative or technical variations specific to the UK.

3 If such a UK variation exists, this is flagged up in the attached listings below for the individual STANDARDS . BS. versions may also differ slightly in the stated year of issue from the EN or ISO versions;. the original EN or ISO issue dates are quoted here. The STANDARDS may contain design, performance and marking requirements for the different types of equipment. This document lists the STANDARDS , and gives a brief explanation of the markings which they define. ORGANISATION OF THE INFORMATION. PPE STANDARDS are separated into broad categories, depending on the type of protection intended, eg head protection, foot protection. Separate documents have been produced for each category.

4 Within a category, where possible, STANDARDS have been further subdivided according to the hazard (eg mechanical hazards, heat and flame) or component type (eg filters;. facepieces) as appropriate. Both current and recently superseded versions are listed, as equipment marked according to either version may be encountered in the field. Standard number and date are given, with the title (sometimes abridged). If a UK National variation applies to this standard, the nature of this variation is described. Markings and classifications defined in the Standard for that class of equipment are listed and briefly described. Related STANDARDS , eg specific test methods which will not usually appear in the markings on equipment are listed separately at the end of each document.

5 Pictograms and symbols for each type of equipment are included at the rear of the relevant document. STANDARDS FOR protective CLOTHING.
